The Cabinet Member for Environment and Operations submitted a report setting out details of the annual residents parking scheme. Bury Council currently has 11 residents parking zones across the Borough. The first residents parking scheme was introduced approximately 20 years ago. Around 6,000 permits are now issued per annum.
In order to provide a transparent framework for determining the appropriateness of a scheme, a policy has been developed that sets out the process in relation to considering residents parking requests.
The revised residents parking policy provides a more comprehensive guidance that officers can follow. It provides clarity regarding the minimum figures of support that should be achieved in order to progress and implement a scheme.
Delegated decision:
Cabinet agrees to:
· Adopt the residents parking policy contained in Appendix 1 so that over 50% of the properties affected must be in favour of a scheme for it to be implemented.
Reason for the decision:
The proposal will help to address under-recovery of administration costs.
